Dotmailer Connector

Intro

dotmailer is a scalable email marketing and marketing automation solution. To learn more about the dotmailer API, visit their page (https://developer.dotmailer.com/).

You connect to your dotmailer account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the dotmailer connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your dotmailer account and create a DataSet, you must have a dotmailer username and password.

Connecting to Your dotmailer Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the dotmailer Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your dotmailer account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Field	Description
Username	Enter the username for your dotmailer account.
Password	Enter the password for your dotmailer account.

Once you have entered valid dotmailer credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new dotmailer DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
